So I have a super massive obsession with everything Swedish these days... and unlike a lot of other Travel Wednesdays, I have not been there yet. But I'm definitely planning a trip for (hopefully) next summer (because I hate the cold).

How gorgeous is that?
I can't exactly pinpoint my new-found passion... I'd imagine it started with my general love of Scandinavian design in furniture/household objects... otherwise known as IKEA (and their meatballs). But then there's always my love of Pippi Longstocking, the Swedish Chef, gnomes/tomte, and Swedish fish (<-- go play with that website, it's fun).
They also have the Ice Hotel that I desperately want to stay in. Check out the Flickr stream from this past year. Amazing!
I mean, really, could there be a better country?

ReplyDeleteThough I may be coming over your side of the ocean at some point because I promised I'd visit a friend who has just gone back to Arkansas.
Awesome! On both counts! I'll totally come visit you if you're here... even if it is in Arkansas. =)
